I say so what to Helms-Burton. That was just a sop to those interests here in the US. It was an easy vote getting thing to pass to apparently strengthen the embargo and when enforcement is dubious at best. What can be given can just as easily be taken away. As far as Cuban infrastructure and political control I see the Exiles as pretty much impotent and likely to remain so. I think by the time Castro croaks so will they and so will America's will to seek repatriation of assets to the grandchildren of the originally dispossessed. I bet there will be much greater benefit to rapprochement than to the opening up of these 50 year old property rights boils. It seems unlikely that a US puppet dictatorship will return and that seems about the only hope for the dispossessed.
